Pulled pork sandwich, Mac and cheese and bbq beans.

Fast, friendly, and delicious. A great little place to stop for a quick lunch and enjoy the outdoors. The parking lot is packed gravel; if you're on a motorcycle, it should not be an issue.

Pulled pork with pickles onions, half rack ribs, collard greens, potato salad, coleslaw.

Our first visit to Grove Bbq, and we weren't disappointed! It's about an hour drive from us so we were starving when we got there, and we ordered a little bit of everything. Pulled pork was shredded so tiny it was almost creamy, this is a good thing, it was absolutely delicious. Brisket sandwich was some of the best brisket I'd ever had. Super tender, a teeny bit flakey just the way I like it, not chewy at all. Meat choices and sides rotate for variety. We couldn't decide on just two sides so we shared collard greens, coleslaw, potato salad, and baked beans, each of which were delicious. We wished that we would have room to try the cornbread and banana pudding for dessert, but maybe next time. We loved the option to take a few mini cups of fill your own sauce so we could try them all. Vinegar sauce and apple bbq were okay but their Memphis sauce is everything, I'd choose that every time. We'll definitely be back to try some more meats and sides! There are several tables on the deck, with umbrellas, and higher stools at a bar area. There is a port-o-potty across the parking lot if you need to go.

Good people, good meat, cool atmosphere. What else do you want? Stopped by on my way through town, I'll make it a regular spot for sure.

If you are a BBQ fan, do not sleep on this spot…read more I had ribs and brisket and could not have been more impressed by it. Fun atmosphere, CRAZY good BBQ, delicious sides, and cold drinks. Smokin Pete's checks all the boxes.

I know I'll be in the minority here and that's fine. I don't care lol…read more I went to this place a couple years ago bc my friends absolutely raved about it and holy shit! It was amazing. I never eat pulled pork...ok maybe (and this legitimately) like once a year and that's if I'm at some reception and it's an option, I go to NY and my friends wanna go here. Other than that, I'll never be like "mmm omg! I'm so in the mood for a pulled pork sandwich tonight! LETSSSS! GO!" That has never happened lol. Pulled pork is so good .. TASTY as in good! Good for you? Duh, who doesn't know it's so bad for you haha! That's why once a year is good for me. So we went to Pete's a last month (August 1st 2026 to be exact). I was pretty excited bc of my first time being there. This time...yeah, let's just say I don't care to ever do again. I ordered the same pulled pork sandwich and 2 sides of Mac n cheese bc Mac n cheese at places like this...next level shit. Wasn't this time tho. It was like ... old and not even hot. Was a major letdown. The pork..:was just a scoop plopped on my tray. No bun was given to me. I needed two if I'm being honest. I was like "oh, don't I get a roll or something?" The girl behind the counter look so irritated when I asked. So, lemme get this right...you order the pulled pork SANDWICH and they give a big scoop on a tray and just expect what...you eat it with your hands or a fork? Sure, some prob do that but again...I ordered the... sandwich. Sandwiches always come with/on a roll? Correct? Or 2 slices of bread? I legit ordered the exact same thing as last time. Last time a roll was provided. Hell, the sandwich was made. Now, this place is INSANELY popular. Most bbq places are when done right. My friend and her man are regulars here. They swear by it. I didn't have the heart this time to tell them that I absolutely hated it. The way the cook looked at me when I asked for a roll..:I'll never forget that. It's almost like she was about to say "yeah, $3 more for the roll" even tho I GUARANTEE the roll is a Wegmans brand hamburger roll and if anything should I dunno....be included when you order...that's right...A SANDWICH. That brings me to the cost. The sandwich and Mac n cheese cost ... $30!! THIRTY. DOLLARS!! And it wasn't even a sandwich until I MADE IT hahaha! THIRTY! DOLLARS! Not sure if the cashier made a mistake bc the prices were the same pretty much as last time and it was $18 last time. Even if prices have gone up (like most places) a $12 increase for the same thing in that short period of time... asinine. I seriously could have gone to the restaurant at Belhurst and gotten a meal that I actually ordered or literally any other restaurant haha. Not sure if the popularity of this place has officially ruined it (at least for me), but a lot of times when restaurants blow up the way this place has...they tend to change and not for the better. They get comfortable and get away with all kinds of shit. It's unfortunate bc I know the next time I'm in town, they'll all wanna go here and I'll go but I'll just order a drink. Probably cost me $8 just for the actual soda and $3 for the tiny cups they give you hahaha. Aside from that ride cook, the staff is actually pretty friendly. So they do have that going for them. Anyone who has been, knows this place is insanely busy and busy all the time. We waited in line, out the door for 30 mins. IMHO, after this latest visit, it's so not worth the wait and you have to DRIVE way out. So the drive, the lines, the cost, and the scoop of meat on a tray...seriously, find another place. I know this review won't change many minds and that's fine. You either really love this place, feel meh about it, or hate it. I'm kinda in between meh and hate even tho hate is a strong word. I just don't see the need for me to ever drive all the way out there again, wait in a long ass like, spend $30+ for a sandwich etc etc when there are so many other options in Geneva and along the road leading out to Pete's. Again, I'm fully aware this review will like have zero impact. I'm just giving my two cents bc I was so excited to finally go back just to leave disappointed. Ok. That's it! Oh! One last thing, the restaurant itself is cool. Bar/restaurant setup is pretty awesome. The "backyard"/patio is great for the summer/warmer months. They close at like 9 which is wild. Backyard too..like zero lighting. So when that sun starts to go down...get out your phones and turn them flashlights on bc it's dark...at least it was when I was there last. Thanks for reading, Yelpeters! Cheers!

Let me premise by saying that I find that I can be pretty adventurous and willing to give most…read moreplaces a go. When doing so, I also discover that I often love an unsuspecting, no frills and all flavor type of bbq joint. So, when traveling in the area and searching for something more than a burger or pizza, I came across high ratings for The BBQ Shack that led me to give it a go. Let me tell you right now...this place was absolutely delicious! Each bite had me lip smacking and audibly saying mmm mm mmm! For the record, I LOVE bbq and have tried so many different bbq places across the US and internationally. Hands down, this is a great one, IMO. I ordered the sampler and wasn't disappointed! For the record, NONE of my meats had a ton of bbq sauce so I could get the full flavor. Brisket was tender, soft and had a great smokier flavor. Pulled pork impressed me even though I'm not a huge pulled pork person. Ribs were tender, sliding off the bone, and packed with a great flavor and sauce. Corn bread was one of the best ones I've had--not too sweet and not too savory, plus a perfect balance of moist and dry. Mac n cheese was unique--not like most Macs but had like a garlic and onion flavor shining through. Baked beans were pretty neutral--not too sweet and not too savory. Staff was friendly. Bathroom was clean. Parking lot was easy to navigate. When in the area, swing by and give them a try.

BBQ was okay, small portions- not much meat. Mac and cheese was okay but could've used more…read moresalt/flavor. The interior is a bit sad- we took our food to a nearby park near the water to eat which was much nicer. The Brisket itself was okay but had large chunks of fat and there was hardly any meat. Mac & Cheese was better than state eatery't but still not anything to write home about. Service was good though! Overall, I probably wouldn't return.
